This month’s
Twitter Treats would obviously be dominated by the event that has shaken up the
whole of India – Demonetization of the currency notes. Since 8th November
evening, thousands of tweets on this subject have been sent out. Here are some
of the interesting ones:

@rishibagree              

Journalist
snubbed his driver when he asked Rs 500 advance After #DeMonetisation
same journo called the driver & gave him 12 months advance

@b50

I saw one
shop accept an old Rs 500 note for a Rs80 item and give back change,
smilingly. The customer told her God Bless You. Respect.

@DrGarekar

#IncomeTax
must be taught from Nursery so that paying taxes become ingrained in DNA of
every child as he grows to adulthood & start earning

@PawanDurani

UPA which
said Rs 30 is sufficient for daily expense of a common man in India for
a day is complaining about Rs 2000 withdrawal limit #Irony

@kapsology

ATMs giving
only Rs 2000 note if you withdraw Rs 2000. Iss note ka achaar
daale kya? No one is going to give change for it in the market.

@FortunateYogi

I want to
have a meal of Rs. 80 and all I have is a 2000 note, for which no
one gives me change. #MyExperience #ConfusedModiSarkar

@coolfunnytshirt

One out of
many positive side effects of #Demonitization – It has unmasked many
‘neutral’, ‘unbiased’ and ‘apolitical’ people on our TL.

@gauravcsawant

My first Rs
2000
note. Almost didn’t want it to go. Then the vegetable vendor said: the
more it changes hands better for all of us :))

@rameshsrivats 

Maybe we can
call this ATM calibration issue a Why-2K problem?

@rameshsrivats 

Good that we
are diverting cash from shady purposes to shaadi purposes.

@rameshsrivats 

ATM:
Welcome. Please enter PIN.

Rahul: Here,
take.

ATM: Ouch!
Not that pin.

And here are
some more tweets worth reading!

@graphic_foodie

I never love
my husband more than when he does my tax return #truelove

ObamaMalik                 

How do
illegal people pay income tax if they have no social security for their
tax form? I am legal. I have social security. I pay tax

@ashwinmushran

Pay Service

Then told there is now a Service Tax half yearly return! Then

@mkvenu1

“Sin
tax” under GST regime is being lowered drastically to enable the “sinners”
to generate more cash. They help fund elections, after all.

@JamuntinI

God may even
forgive your Sins, taxation dept., wouldn’t. Sin tax @ 40% for your
Smoke…probably. #GST Update.

@rameshsrivats  

Now that a
real estate tycoon is winning the US elections, Congress must be seriously
looking at Robert Vadra.

@rameshsrivats  

Watching
NDTV. The Congress spokesperson is putting full nonsense. He should be treated
like a 1,000 rupee note, & discontinued immediately.
